Really out chea
cool overall, don't remember if he mentioned he wanted to sign the firm before...so that was cool to hear...crazy to think if he did, how shyt would probably be different, maybe
Yeah Dame talked about it on another interview a while back.
*EDIT* Here it goes from 2014. He mentions Stoute's picture with the wig and everything

Dame Dash Says Steve Stoute Is A "Culture Robber" Who Hurt Jay Z's Brand (VIDEO)
"Dame also talks about how Stoute apparently told him about LL Cool J and Nas not "doing well," how The Notorious B.I.G's crew put lipstick and a wig on him, and how he had to "run up in his office" to stop Stoute from stealing DJ Clue from Roc-A-Fella."
Stoute was President at Columbia (where Nas was) and then went to be a President at Interscope (why the Firm came out on via Aftermath). He tried to get Clue over there too as you heard. Clue worked as a sort of consultant for Interscope.
Matter of fact, I believe Fabolous also explained this situation on Drink Champs and how he was supposed to be on Interscope via Clue's Steve Stoute deal.
Here's a post Fabolous made talking about it
Fabolous Admits He Left Interscope Record Deal: “Decided To Stay W/ Clue & Go Back To The Streets Thru His Mixtapes”

YOOOOOO Dame is absolutely correct that Big Pimpin and its video really did save Jay & Rocafella. I loved Do It Again but it wasn't a smash crossover hit at all and sort of a dud commercially speaking.
That really puts that video and song into even more context now that I'm older.
